LEXINGTON, Ky. – Indiana State track and field wrapped up its first day of the NCAA East First Round Wednesday, with a pair of top-30 finishes highlighting the day for the Sycamores.
 
Kieran Barnewall opened the day by matching his wind-legal career best in the 110m hurdles, clocking a time of 13.88. Barnewall, who will compete at the Canadian U20 Championships in June, finished as one of the top five freshmen in the NCAA East Region in the event, barely missing on advancing to quarterfinals by six-hundredths of a second.
 
Collin Forrest closed out his career with the Blue and White in the 110m hurdles Wednesday, running a time of 14.30 to finish 42nd. Forrest became the fourth Sycamore in program history to win three MVC 110m hurdles titles and the first athlete in the conference in over a decade to accomplish the feat. He wraps up his Indiana State career with four all-conference accolades and program top-10 marks in the 60m hurdles, 110m hurdles and shuttle hurdle relay.
 
Also rounding out his career with the Trees Wednesday evening was Terrance O'Bannon, who ran a time of 10.61 to finish 46th in the 100m dash. O'Bannon, who won back-to-back MVC titles in the 100m and was also a part of back-to-back 4x100m relay titles with the Trees, owns program top-10 marks in both events along with the 60m. He finished his Sycamore career with seven all-conference accolades to his name.
 
Rounding out the Indiana State contingent on Wednesday's opening day of action in Lexington was Sloan Cox, who placed 26th in the shot put. Cox, who earned all-conference accolades for a second straight season in the event, recorded a top mark of 17.95m (58-10.75). The junior already owns top-10 program marks in the event for both the indoor and outdoor season, and ranks second in program history in the shot put.
